draft

Always a fun thread in hindsight... So who don't you want?

Thought I'd start a thread to pick the all time best and worst top 10 draft picks. This is based on the best player selected at a given pick across every single draft (i.e. best #1 pick, worst #2 pick etc). Interested to see everyone's take. My best and worst is based from the point I started...

The AFL has just ruled that Clarke and Mumford can sign: http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-11-15/new-rookie-rules-clarke-mumford-free-to-join-club-of-choice Teams can have 43 on their main and cat A list, leaving them with the opportunity of signing a rookie from Dec 1 onwards. So clubs can...

A thread for draft rumours and informative tidbits. I don't really have anything good, but hopefully someone does and I'm sure they will start flowing thick and fast soon.

Morrish Medal winner who missed the U18 champs due to surgery for a broken jaw. Inside mid, excellent kick but lacks aerobic capacity and break away speed. Twomey had him ranked 18th in his October Form Guide. https://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-10-30/tomorrows-heroes-liam-stocker

As with previous editions from previous years, this spreadsheet is updated automatically. As of round 21 it will be completely automatic for the remainder of the home and away season (rather than updating at the end of the round). I will also try to post a screenshot of it once the round is...

Hey everyone, Long story short, I'm a stats nerd, a maths nerd and an U18 nerd. Combine all those, and you get this: https://theaflquant.shinyapps.io/taccupapp/. Basically, this is something called a Shiny App, which is something that is easily created in R (the popular stats research...

Hey friends from Bigfooty. I've started a new football podcast that I'd love to share with you all. In this new podcast, we pull apart the playing lists of AFL clubs, analyse the key indicators, and determine who they should resign, delist, make a play for in trade/free agency, draft, and what...

https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/indigenous-academy-backlash-20180620-p4zmq3.html Considering the Crows have three kids coming through in 2019 and 2020 that could well go in the first round, I dont know why they would agree with this. Unless the Northern states lose access to their...

In the New South Wales Rugby League, a player draft was declared illegal by the Supreme Court in 1991, and I have strong memories of claims the AFL Draft would be declared illegal soon after (circa 1992). Many scholars – such as Ross Booth - have argued that without the player draft clubs such...

I don't mean to have a go at McCartin here, however I'm starting to think St.Kilda made a mistake selecting him with the #1 pick of the 2014 draft. All year, Christian Petracca was rated as the clear #1 pick; a beast of a midfielder with elite athleticism and goalscoring ability. In the end...

Generally by now most state league followers have a general idea of who are some the potential draftees for this season. From the (admittedly less than I usually get) bits of VFL all these players are a chance of getting picked up: Michael Gibbons just keeps on finding the ball. Seriously, this...

I know it's early but some players are making moves in their 2nd year. If done today this is how I see it going. 1) Taranto 2) McCluggage 3) Stewart 4) Ryan 5) Bowes 6) McGrath 7) Witherdon 8) Florent 9) Simpkin 10) Fisher 11) Marshall 12) Sam Petrevski Seton 13) Berry 14) English 15) Sam...

Hey guys, sorry for my absence in 2017, as I took on a role with a VFL club, my time to update my BF thread became nearly impossible. But I am back for 2018 and promise to be a lot more active on here, as i have my thread for a 4th year in a row! Please ask me any questions here, or on twitter...

Haven't seen many lists floating around but, does anyone know the full lists for this year's U16's championships and which F/S's and academy kids standout? Cheers.

AFL Players' rankings are currently being revealed in parts on AFL.com and the top 5 players remain hidden. Josh Kelly has yet to be named so unless he hasn't been voted in the top 50, he is ranked in the top 5 (Likely scenario). He now sits ahead of a long list of A-grade players including...

Hey there, if anybody wants to join a semi-serious league we are looking for a few more people who take their fantasy seriously. This league would be great for people looking for a second league or just something extra on weekends but know what they're doing with fantasy footy. Ultimate Footy...

Thought a there was already a draft thread up but I couldn't find anything. I've got my draft tonight, 12 teams, I got pick 12 :sick: We use the snake method so at least I get back to back picks. Reckon I'll just take the most powerful mid left, hopefully Pendles, Zerrett or Bont are still...

Welcome to the SuperQoach Draft. Here is where the participating Coaches will choose the majority of their team through a Draft. The way this will work is: Each team will consist of EIGHT players. This will be made up of the Coach, their 4 Draft selections, and 3 random allocations. There...

Jack Bytel - Calder Cannons Midfielder 188 cm 79 kg 14/3/2000 Played 10 TAC Cup games and 1 Vic Metro game BOG for team Harvey in the U17 all star game. Predicted to go top 10 and looking back at some of his games I'd put him in a group with Walsh and Rozee, right behind Rankine. Early...

Sam Walsh (Geelong Falcons, Vic Country). 182cm. Averaged 29 disposals per game this year in the TAC Cup and has apparently done a 16 beep previously! https://www.afl*******************/player/samuel-walsh/ Get around him. 2018 highlights...

Basically, this will be a FANTASY DRAFT game, where all COACHES will have a team of 8 SFA players, whose DT points throughout SFA S25 will accumulate to give each player a total round score. There will be opportunities to multiply your round scores through a CHALLENGE system. You will also be...
